McLaren, most famous for its top formula one team, has developed a racing road bicycle in collaboration with American manufacturer Specialized.<\/p>\n
Briton Mark Cavendish, who rides for HTC-Highroad, will attempt to take the carbon-fibre S-Works McLaren Venge – launched at McLaren’s Woking headquarters on Thursday – to victory in Saturday’s Milan-San Remo race.<\/p>\n
Riders for the Astana and Saxo Bank-Sungard teams will also debut the carbon bike, whose frame weighs less than one kilogram and has an electronic gearshift.<\/p>\n
“We can optimise a bike to levels that have never been achieved before,” claimed McLaren Applied Technologies’ design director Duncan Bradley.<\/p>\n
The bike will be available from about $9,000 later this year.<\/p>\n
